Do true spiders have bulbous pedipalps?

I've been keeping a "house spider" for a few weeks. It's molted twice and since the last molt the pedipalps look swollen like what you would see on a MM tarantula. Just wondering if He molted into a mature male. Pics coming as soon as possible.

I kept an Agelenopsis Spp. (common grass spider) recently and it was a female. After seeing a male's pedipalps the contrast is astounding. The male's are much more swollen and large. It's more noticeable than with tarantulas, so yes your spider has most likely matured.
